The Savant VPOF100 is a specialized laboratory-grade recirculating oil filtration system engineered to extend the operational life and performance of oil-sealed vacuum pumps. Commonly used in conjunction with SpeedVac concentrators and similar vacuum applications, this unit is designed to remove contaminants from pump oil continuously, preserving the integrity of vacuum systems in research, pharmaceutical, and analytical labs.
Uses a precision magnetic-drive gear pump to continuously circulate vacuum pump oil through a filtration cartridge.
Maintains oil clarity by removing acid vapors, moisture, and particulate matter—key factors in vacuum pump degradation.
Incorporates a large-capacity replaceable filter cartridge filled with activated alumina.
Effectively adsorbs contaminants including acidic gases, residual solvents, and particulates.
Helps stabilize oil pH and delay chemical breakdown, enhancing oil longevity and minimizing maintenance frequency.
Flow rate: Approximately 0.25 gallons per minute (GPM).
Internal pressure relief valve: Factory-set to limit pressure to approximately 45 PSI, ensuring consistent and safe operation.
Designed to work passively and continuously during vacuum pump operation.
Compact footprint: Approximately 8.25″ W × 10″ D × 16.5″ H (dimensions may vary slightly depending on version).
Weight: Around 19 lbs.
Power Requirements: 115V AC, 50/60 Hz, 1 Amp (standard North American electrical specification).
Sturdy metal housing for durability in demanding lab environments.
SpeedVac and centrifugal concentrator systems
Freeze drying / lyophilization setups
Rotary vane vacuum pump protection
Biological, chemical, and pharmaceutical labs
Any long-duration vacuum system using oil-lubricated pumps
Extends vacuum pump oil life — reduces the need for frequent oil changes.
Protects vacuum system components — by keeping the oil clean, it prevents internal corrosion and mechanical wear.
Minimizes downtime — improves reliability and decreases maintenance intervals.
Ideal for high-throughput labs — especially where vacuum pumps run continuously or under heavy load.
The Savant VPOF100 Recirculating Oil Filtration Pump is a critical support component for any lab using vacuum pumps over extended periods. By filtering pump oil during operation, it significantly reduces maintenance needs, enhances pump reliability, and maintains vacuum integrity. It is especially valuable in applications requiring consistent performance and long equipment life, such as evaporation, lyophilization, and vacuum distillation processes.
